Troy Museum

[edit]
  • ... that the Troy Museum building, close to the ancient Greek city of Troy, is covered with rust-colored weathering steel to resemble an excavated artifact? Source: "... paslanmış çelik kaplamayla ..." [1] (in Turkish), "... in weathering steel ...", "Located 800 metres from the site of the ancient city ... museum was designed ... to resemble an "excavated artefact" [2]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting museum and initiative. Too bad no picture is included, but this is not required. I would suggest to cut down the number of wikilinks a little, since they may distract from the main subject. But since this is not a required criterion, I approve of the hook. One of the sources is in Turkish, which I cannot read, but the English-language source supports the hook sufficiently. Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 22:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
